A presentation from NCS President and New Yorker cartoonist Jason Chatfield.
“When I grow up, I want to be a cartoonist and spend all my time trying to run a business!” said no one ever. But, with the established markets for cartooning in flux, the work cartoonists do away from the drawing board/tablet is more important than ever. In this session, Chatfield will share some of what he’s learned about finding and growing a direct audience of true fans (with and without social media), the power of combinatory skills, getting paid what we’re worth, finding your ‘enough,’ and building a cartooning business fit for the 21st century using Substack so you can spend more time doing the thing you actually like: Drawing cartoons!
Recorded at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum
Video production by Nicolettecinemagraphics
